Procedure

Dissolve 5-[4-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (3.5 g, 11.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) under nitrogen at RT. Add boron tribromide (1M in CH2Cl2, 29 mL) and stir at RT until the reaction is complete. Quench the mixture into ice/water and extract with CH2Cl2. Dry the combined extracts over Na2SO4 and concentrate. Chromatograph the resulting residue over silica gel (MeOH/CH2Cl2) to allow for isolation of 5-[4-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (2.61 g, 78%). MS (ES): (M+1)+ 290.2 m/z.
